At the starting position, tighten the abdominals to stabilize the trunk.

On counts 1 and 3, keep the back generally straight with the head up and the eyes forward.

On count 2, the arms should be extended fully overhead. The trunk and legs should also be in line.

On each landing, the feet are directed forward and maintained at shoulder distance apart. The landing should be “soft” and proceed from the balls of the feet to the heels. The vertical line from the shoulders through the knees to the balls of the feet should be demonstrated on each landing.
